Sterling would be a bit like getting fandago wheels and a spoiler when you still haven't got an engine.

So, if we got an engine too... which according to many should be simple enough....

If the rumoured £100-150m we've got to spend in January is true, then a midfielder and Sterling (plus potentially left back) should be attainable.
Sterling isn't attainable however much money we have.
Good,

Brozovic Inter 25m
Lingard Man Utd 21m

I read somewhere he wanted to go play in Europe.

I think we need that proper midfielder, not just for its own sake, but also to put the shiters up McGinn a bit. In that 4-3-3 I can see Luiz being a nailed on starter, and McGinn will have to compete with Sanson and Ramsey for a place which can only be a good thing.

Think Gerrard will love SJM tbh. Probably hears from Rangers players all the time how good he is for Scotland and really at his best he's a lesser version of how Gerrard played the role.

Again though it's same as the summer, sign a better standard DM who can win the ball and hold their position and give Luiz and SJM more licence to play higher up the pitch. We saw glimpses of that away to likes of Chelsea and Man. United in September so that's what I expect from Feb onwards in the Gerrard interpretation of 4-3-3.

I too love McGinn, but he needs more focus and more definition in his role. More competition would help that I think.

Just needs a good defensive midfielder or two behind him. So he can feel to run riot.

It could be argued that our central defenders should be the strongest part of the team because DS was a central defender himself. However that’s questionable I think we may have the same problem with SG thinking he’ll strengthen the midfield because he played in that position.

Someone like Oriol Romeu (injured for the season sadly) would definitely do a job in our midfield. A bit of steel and quality. January is a hard time to buy especially if we are still bouncing around the bottom

Rumours Howe wants Mings. How much would it take for us to sell do you think?

if Maguire was £80mil, then I'd take £75mil for Mings - they're loaded.

Offered anything over £50 it would be very hard to say no you'd think.

I imagine SG is making sure his tank is fully fulled so that he can drive him there himself if they offer anything north of £50m.
